ISSA's Honors Champions of Health and Fitness — at the Olympics and at Home
Carpinteria, CA – August 7, 2008 – Carpinteria, CA - As the world celebrates the athletic achievements of its citizens at the Olympics this month, the International Sports Sciences Association would like to honor all fitness professionals from every nation that have helped these athletes reach Beijing. Often, the services that personal trainers provide these athletes help get them to the games and, in many cases, the podium.
ISSA would like to encourage individuals who champion health and wellness in their own spheres of influence to further their commitment to fitness by turning their passion into a career as a personal trainer. From August 8 through 24, students can enroll in any ISSA fitness certification for $100 off each course enrollment — more than 15% off the normal cost.
As public outcry grows louder for the current U.S. healthcare system to shift its focus from treatment to prevention, Dr. Sal Arria, ISSA CEO and co-founder as well as a doctor for the US Track & Field team doctor at the 1984 Olympic games, adamantly believes that health and fitness professionals will play a critical role in the healthcare system of tomorrow. As a result, ISSA has chosen to develop certifications that address the needs of special populations—including sports conditioning, youth fitness, senior fitness, fitness therapy, and nutrition.
OTHER ISSA CHAMPIONS
In addition to founders Dr. Sal Arria and Dr. Fred Hatfield, the ISSA is proud to include among their ranks several senior staff members and advisors who have had the opportunity to work with literally thousands of athletes worldwide – many of whom have gone on to impressive careers.
